They successfully reached the Furniture District west of the city.
The Furniture District had a river flowing through it. The foul-smelling canals had to be interconnected underground. The polluted water in them was slowly rising because of the storm.
A brigade had taken over the Furniture District. The central plaza in the district had been turned into the brigade’s camp. The streets, which held a lot of building material stores, were crowded with soldiers of the Brown Army.
The first wave of their attack had been a great success, taking over Banlo City with the surprise attack. The soldiers had set up camp in the Furniture District so they could take a rest.
.
They would launch an attack on the next city in seven hours.
By then, the Federation’s army would be prepared. It was most likely on its way already. A real battle would take place in seven hours!
“Why are we taking this way?” Mu Bai asked with a confused look.
“The other districts are occupied by other regiments. I don’t have the authority to bring you through them. I can easily ask my superior to let us pass if we take this route,” the soldier replied.
He went across a bridge. The three had no choice but to follow him.
As they approached a tall building, Mo Fan noticed the building was full of Mages in brown military outfits. They were staring down at them, like archers who had long set up an ambush for their enemy!
“Set up the perimeter!” the soldier suddenly yelled before running to the building.
Mages of the Brown Army rushed out from the residential houses behind the bridge.
They formed a wall at one end of the bridge to stop Mo Fan and his crew from escaping.
There were movements on the tall buildings nearby, each channeling their magic. Their Star Orbits and Star Patterns lit up the streets like bright banners and street lamps.
Troops of Brown Mages poured out of the tallest building and surrounded Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Mu Bai with the rest of the army, who was approaching from the streets!
“Damn it, it’s an ambush!” Zhao Manyan cursed.
Mo Fan was surprised too.
The Brown Army was treating them like the leaders of their enemy, yet they were not even involved in the war. Why did the Brown Army prepare such a huge trap for them?
The enemy had overwhelming numbers. The soldiers in their range of vision were not everyone. More soldiers of the Brown Army were gathering toward them.
“You set us up!” Zhao Manyan yelled at the soldier. “Luckily, the diamonds I gave you are fake, too!”
The soldier was startled. He quickly took out the diamonds and inspected them.
He could tell the diamonds were indeed fake after he checked them thoroughly. He snarled in frustration.
